REGULATOR
Reader, did you ever take Simmons.
LrvEB Regulator, the "Kinq. op
Liver Medicines ?" Everybody -needa
take a liver remedy.; It is a sluggish or
diseased , liver that impairs digestion
and causes constipation, when the waste
that should be carried off remains in
the body and poisons the whole system.
That dulL heavy feeling is due to a
toroid liver. Biliousness, Headache,
Malaria and Indigestion are all liver
diseases. Keep the liver active by an
occasional dose of Simmons liver Reg
ulator and you'll get rid of these trou
bles, and give tone to the whole sys
tem. For a laxative Simmons Liver
Regulator is better than Pills. It
does not gripe, nor weaken, but greatly
refreshes ana strengxnena.

EARLY DAYS.
Reminiscences in the Life of an Early
'Pioneer.
Mr. J. N. - Clarke, who died in
Cceur d'Alene, Idaho, sometime
ago, was one of the most celebrated
Indian fighters during the troubles
with the aborigines in this region
He lived on Bridge creek in Urant
county in 1866, and - at one time
hid m the bushes on the creek
while his house was being burned
bv hostile Snakes. From this
Dlace of hiding he watched his
house go up in flames, and narrow
ly : escaped ' capture himself. In
company : with Mr. Maupin
who then lived at Antelope he
pursued the Indians for a long dis
tance; but they eluded pursuit.
The great war chief of the Snakes
was Paulina, and waupin and
Clark determined that he should
pay with his. life for the raids hi?
band had made on the settlers,
Bv constant vigilance tliev fouud
th'e camp of Paulina, and watching
their opportunity, killed him.
This ended the -Indian, war in
Grant county, for after the death of
their chief the band scattered and
left the country. After this the
settlements enjoyed peace, and
nothing further was heard of the
l.depredation9 of the Iukas in that
tegion. Without a leader the In
dians ; separated into . isolated
squads and joined other members
of the tribes east of the 131 ue
mountains. Those who have come
to this country during the last few
years do not fully appreciate the
trials countered in the first settle
ment of the country.
EJECTED FROM THEIR HOMES.
Squatters on O. R. &N. Co. Land Dis
posessed by Marshal Grady.
Thirty Italian families who
squatted upon land in south Port
land-, owned by the Oregon Railway
& Navigation' Co., were ejected and
their shanties torn down by a force
of men under the direction of Unit
ed States Marshal Grady, acting
under an order made by the feder
al court in the final determination
of the railway company's suits to
dispossess the sqnatters. The dis
possession was made with remons
trances unaccompanied by viol
ence, on the part of the illegal set
tiers. '
In all there were about 40 or 50
houses, of which 30 were levelled
to the ground. .
vhen Marshal Grady, and two
deputies, accompanied by 20 labor
ers armed with sledge hammers,
picks and axes arrived on the scene
in the morning all prepared to ac
complish their task, the Italians
congregated in small groups and
their menacing countenances presag
ed trouble, which soon broke out in
the shape of expostulation, remon
strance and threats. One fellow
expresed a , determination to re
main in hia habitation in spite of
the court's ordei to vacate, and he
was seconded by several Bad-vis
aged countrymen. They talked ex
citedly in their native language for
several minutes, and their emphat
ic denunciations of the work to be
prosecuted and their threatening
questions led the marshal to believe
tnat trouble was at hand. Two or
three spectators shared his opinion,
and, with visons of stjlcttosu tting
before their eyes, sought safer f pots,
But all signs of trouble were Heat
tered by Marnal Grady 8 stern
command to the Italians to pre
serve order, adding that anvone
who wished to display his pugilis
tic talent would be jailed. The or
der bad the expected effect. The
pugnacious individuals retired to
their homes and immediately begun
a
t carry out what little furniture
thev possessed. Some wanted a
day's time to do this. . . -

Insurance Companies.
The Northwest Insurance .As
sociation formally came into exis
tence July 1U, and it gives every
promise of being the salvation of
tho insurance business in the state
of Oregon, Washington and Idaho.
The recent demise of the Pacific
Insurance Unioti has badly demor
alized the insurance business in
these three states, and this associa
tion Is the result of the different
companies getting together to see
if they could not place the business
on a fair and jnst baris which
would be eouitable to all concern
ed. Over 30 local agents, froni the
different cities in the three stateb
jvere in attendance, and it was es
sentially a meeting ot the local
agents, although they were very
glad to accept suggestions from the
officers of the old' organization.
The meeting was . harmonious
throughout and its result has been
to re-establish not only the best of
friendship among all the agents,
but to also place the rates and clas
sifications upon practically tho
same basis asjthey were previous
to the recent cut of rates.
In the organization of the as
sociation Mr. Henry Hewitt was
elected president, and then an - ex
ecutive committee of 15 was select
ed, representative of the principal
sections of the three states, i In the
hands of this committee the . entire
management of the new association
will rest. They have absolute con
trol and absolute direction of all
matters in connection with it. '
The permanent secretaryship of
this executive committee was given
to Mr. Herbert Folger almost un
animously, Mr. Bates being his on
ly competitor. . lhe insurance men
feel particularly satisfied that they
have secured two such capable men
as Mjr. Hewitt and Mr, Folger to
be the active heads of the new as
sociation. THE NEZ PERCE LANDS.
Thousands of Acres to Be Thrown
Open to Settlement in a Fertile ;
Region.
Secretary Smith has requested
the treasury department to pay tho
$600,000 due to the Nez Perce In
dians in Idaho, for their land sold
to the government in Idaho. ' The
payment was stopped two months
ago on account of charges of fraud
of various sorts. Those have been
proven unfounded, and there is no
further reason for ' delay. ' The
tribe comprises 1829 persons, each
of whom will receive a little over
$2000. . .. . :
The following section of the law '
sets forth the conditions and terms
of entry of the lands to be thrown 1
open to settlement by the presi
dents proclamation: ;
"That immediately after the in
surance and receipt by the Indian?
of , trust patents for the allotted
lands, as provided-for in said agree
ment, the land so ceded, sold, re
linquished and conveyed " to the
United . States shall be op6ncd 10
settlement by proclamation of the
president, and shall be subject to
disposal only under the homestead
townsite, stone and timber, and
mining laws of the United States,
except the 16th and 36th section
in each congressional township,
which shall be reserved for common
school purposes and be subject to
the.law of Idaho:. Provided. That
each settler on said lands shall be
fore making proof and receiving a
certificate of antry pay to the Uni
ted States for the land taken by
him, in addition to the fees pro
vided by law, the sum of f o 75 per
acre for agricultural lands, one
half of which shall be paid within
three years from' the date of or
iginal entry; and the sura of $5 per
acre for-stone, timber and, mineral
lands, subject to the regulations
prescribed by existing laws; but
the rights of honorably discharged
Union soldiers and sailors, as de
fined and described in sections 2,-
304 and 2305 of the Revised Stat
utes of the United States, shall not
be abridged except as to the sum
to be paid as aforesaid. '
In New York, Too.
A regular Kansas cyclone visited
New York and New Jersey Satur
day. The storm center was about
300 feet in width, and the strip
over which it passed is a mass of

numbered by the score. Several
villages were demolished, and in
New York City the thoroughfares
were made impassible for .traffic,
owing to the network of fallen

STABBED TO DEATH.
A Tragedy Occurs in the WaMa Walla
, . Penitentiary.
Another terrible crime is record
ed at the Washington state peniten
tiary. It is a repetition of the Hart
Reif tragedy. :
At 3 o'clock Friday last, William
Harrison, alias D. C. Betison, stab
bed and killed a fellow convict by
the name of William Ellis. Both
men worked at the jute mill, where
the killing occurred. Ellis was on
tho operating table waiting for Dr
Tailor, who arrived within 10 min
utes after the tragedy oocured. At
one glance nt the wounds the doctor
said that Ellis could not live. , ,
He lived about one hour, after
which a poet mortem examination
was made by Doctors Taylor and
Bingbam. Their report was:
Wounded below and near to the
right nipple, extending through
the skin and muscular tissue by
the sixth rib Into the plural cavity
and penetrating the lung; wound
below external to the right nipple
Eassing through the muscular tissue
etween the fifth and sixth ribs,
through the upper lobe.. Vnother
wound penetrated the abdominal
cavity, passing through .the left
lobe of the liver into the stomach.
The contend of tho stomach
partly ' escaped. Besides these
there were other cuts on the arm
and body that were not serious. '
Ellis said beforo he died that
Harrison did the cut ting that they
had trouble a week ago. He was
so weak he could hardly talk.
Investigation at the penitentiary
into the murder of Ellis by Harri
son, - alias Benson, lasted until
nearly midnight, during which
time about 25 convicts, who were
working in the jute mill that day,
were closely questioned by Pro
secuting Attorney Ormshee and the
Erison officials, but nothing could
e learned from them of the case.
Nearly every one of them claim ed
he knew nothing of the murder
whatever. . The prison officials
and prosecuting attorney are very
reticent about the matter, and will
not give out anything for publica
tion. . j
It is learned indirectly that
Harrison and a number of othe'r
convicts were banded together,
and have for some timo past been
causing tho officials a great amount
of trouble. Ellis was looked upon
bv the gang as a spy, who was
eager to secure information of the
misdeedfe of the gang and, then
inform the officials, and they de
cided to make way with him at the
first opportunity. Only two con
victs would state whether Harrison
bad a knife or not. and up to ' the
present time the officers have been
unable to find the weapon Harri
son used. ' . '.' i

! Tve Moscow Mirror eays: Some
two or three weeks ago three trap

springs where the Colgate party
started from on their terrible trip
dow'n the Cloarwater, in a most
fearful condition. Two of the un

third was in such a condition that
life was almost extinct when dis

did. The unfortunate man who
was alive when discovered was in

had caused him to lose all his
teeth, hair and eyesight and his
reason had almost left him. Our

ion, one chapter being discussed
each day, three hours being devot
ed to each chapter. To prevent
set speaches the m&xiuin number
of words that can be used in ans
wering any question or stating a
E reposition will, be 1000. The last
alf hour of each session will de
voted to questions from guests, no
one bofng allowed to ask more
than three. Neither disputant is
to delay more than three minutes
in giving his statement, answer or
question after the other has finish
ed speaking. Each disputant may
have 10 assistants. .
